Now if I can buy it cheaper empty without microslop spyware installed on it, that would be great

What’s the price of this compared to a comparable (feature-wise) laptop? Just curious what the repairability premium is.

I wonder if this will shut up the "they don't make them like they used to" crowd.
Edit: i knew that wouldn't be the case. It didn't need this thread as proof.

But I won't buy anything lenovo, should I finally let that go?
I have an X1 Carbon Gen 9 (so a few years old now). I wanted to replace my HDD and they (Lenovo) had videons on how to do it.
I'd say yes. But stick to ThinkPad series. I have an IdeaPad for work and I really which I told my boss to buy a ThinkPad instead. Keyboard has broken twice in 2 years.

In the early 2000s, my longest lasting laptop was an IBM T14. I replaced the battery twice and increased the memory. I retired it right before the pandemic. It lasted over 15 years.
I replaced it with another Lenovo T14. Great keyboards and comes with Fedora workstation or Ubuntu out of the box.
